BUSY saturday!

Our saturday started with our usual soccer game.

But today's game was extra special for 2 reasons:

1. daddy got to come (he has been teaching a saturday

class this semester so he has missed every other game)

2. Kaipo scored his first goal!!!!!!

I don't know if it was because QUinn was there,

or the extra bribery-for a milkshake if he made one,

either way we were sooo proud of him!!!

*Way to go Kaipo...we knew you could do it*

After his game mom headed to Bountiful with

the kids to a clinic to receive H1N1 vaccinations.

I expected a wait, but NOT what we got.

The line was wrapped around the outside of the building

twice and we ended up waiting over 2 hours!!!

I debated whether to stay or not and do it,

there was the possibility of another clinic tuesday,

but that was only IF there was any vaccinations left.

Plus I knew we are suppose to be getting a storm

monday-tuesday, so I didn't want to be possibly stuck

waiting in the rain another day. So we waited it out...

the kids were soo good considering all the time we had to wait!

As we are getting the shots (mist actually) they inform me the kids

have to return in a month for the other half of the

vaccination. PLEASE don't make me wait in

another 2 hour line next time. Especially since

a month from now I will have another one in tow!!

We finally headed home around 2:30,

and both the boys fell asleep .

I promised the kids a hayride and pumpkin picking,

so after naps we headed out to do that.

When we arrived, the line for the hayride was soo

long and I wasn't about to stand in another line,

not even for 10 minutes, so we picked out pumpkins

and headed home-of course the kids were disappointed

they didn't get the hayride! Maybe another day?

As if all this wasn't enough to make our Saturday busy,

(and this pregnant mom extra tired)

QUinn decided it would be a good idea to take a lei

to the mission farewell we are going to tomorrow

(at our old ward). Since it is pretty impossible to find

flower leis last minute-in Utah-in the winter,

Quinn instead found a flower shop where

we could get some orchids, and then I could

make the lei??? I wasn't quite sure about this idea,

considering I have only made a few in my lifetime.

Didn't turn out half bad, even if I do say so myself.

Glad to know I can still make 'em if need be!

******

So I have gotten the lei made, kids to bed,

my Sunday ironing done, church bag packed

and instead of blogging I should be in bed.

But now that I can check updating my blog off my list...

I am going to sleep like baby!

I probably won't be that lucky,

but I am still soo ready to hit the hay!!!!!

Swine FLu Scare...up close and personal

So I just found out that Kaipo's preschool teachers son

has the swine flu. She has said she will do everything in her

power to quarantine him and keep all surfaces sanitized,

but will leave it up to us parents if you want to

send our preschooler. Well of course I know my

decision-being pregnant with new baby to be born soon,

I just cannot risk it for sure!!

But I am just wondering....

HOW LONG DO I KEEP HIM AWAY????

What is your opinion? I think I will also call my Dr

and see what HE recommends.

Scary though, wouldn't you say??!!

This is the first time I have felt

REALLY nervous about it, knowing

Kaipo was just there yesterday!?!

I will have to watch him closely for the

next couple of days!!!!
